Chapter 1225: Prince Li's Extra Threat

Murong Jie didn't even have the words to persuade his mother and concubine. All he could think about was the result of her insistent behavior.

Murong Jie felt that his world had fallen into endless silence. His mother and concubine were still chattering, but none of them could reach his ears.

"Concubine, you will kill yourself."

After a long silence, Murong Jie spoke. No one knew how heartbroken he was when he said the word death. Just as no one knew, he had already determined the fate of his mother and concubine in his heart.

"The king becomes the king and the bandit loses. Even if I lose, I will be honored even though I lose. Besides, how could I lose? Now you are the prince. When the emperor dies, you will be the well-deserved emperor of Zhou. Why, you still want to Can you kill your own mother? Jie'er, my mother-in-law once thought of relying on your father, but your father is unwilling to abolish the queen for me, let alone let you become the future emperor. What woman doesn't want to be a high-ranking queen? I think so too, so I can only count on you."

At the end, Concubine Dong's words were full of sadness. She always thought that she and the emperor were truly in love, but the emperor would rather wrong her than abolish his wife.

"Mother, I have never been educated as a prince since I was a child. I cannot be a good emperor. I am still the elder brother, and I am more suitable for that position." Murong Jie said sincerely.

"If your eldest brother takes that position, your mother and concubine will die. Will you still persist like this?"

Concubine Dong Gui was very angry at Murong Jie's failure to live up to expectations, and the anger in her words made Murong Jie feel even more guilty.

"Mother, my eldest brother is not a vicious person. He will not put you to death. Besides, my father may not love you, but after pampering you for so many years, he will never let you go suddenly." Murong Jie said softly. As he said this, he believed that if he refused to accept the throne, his mother and concubine would still be alive.

"Your eldest brother is not as kind as you think, and your queen mother is not as compassionate as she seems. Your mother and concubine, I am not as incompetent as you think. It may not be them who want my life, and It could be me."

"Concubine, don't mess around, you..."

"The day when other princes ascend the throne is the day when my mother and concubine will die."

Although Concubine Dong Gui did not have many strategies, she had long known Murong Jie's weakness. After her words fell to the ground, there was no response for a long time outside the palace.

"Jie'er, did you hear what my mother and concubine said? If you can't become the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, then I can only stay in this Qingliang Palace forever. I would rather die than waste my time here."

Murong Jie didn't say anything. He didn't expect that his mother-in-law would threaten her with death.

She had never been like this before, because before, her father would satisfy her needs without her threatening him. This time, she used her ultimate move to deal with her biological son.

"Your uncle will be here tomorrow night. Remember to go find them. They will contact the courtiers and help you secure your position as prince. Did you hear that?"

Without getting a reply from Murong Jie, Concubine Dong Guifei couldn't wait any longer. She was convinced that her son would eventually give in.

"Jie'er, did you hear that? Prince, future emperor, you must go on this road whether you like it or not, did you hear that?"

Concubine Dong shouted loudly in the store, but Murong Jie never responded. The two eunuchs who had been standing outside the Qingliang Hall remained calm even after hearing Concubine Dong's rebellious words.
